About me

Long ago I thought of myself as a Delphi programmer, then I described myself as a PHP programmer, but today I just assume myself as a problem solver, who incidentally knows how to program.

The programming language becomes irrelevant because I've found out that I can learn the basics of a programming language in a week, and be fluent in two. I've used BASIC, COBOL, Fortran, Pascal/Delphi, PHP, Javascript, CoffeeScript, Python, Scala, Kotlin, C++, Ruby,... even did some small projects in Z80, 6502 and 8086 assembler.

How long does it take me to be an expert? All my life! I never cease to learn!

Projects

 

Michoacán's Electoral Statistical
Information System

Michoacán's Electoral Statistical Information System screen capture

This system was born as a Windows Desktop program (along with its sister project, the Statistical History of the Elections in Michoacán) and later exported as a web application.

It allows the visitor, through a friendly interface, to consult the results of the local elections for a given period, being able to filter by type of election and geographic location. The system displays results in numerical form, but you can also represent them in a graph or cartographic form.

Built using:

  • PHP + MySQL on the backend.
  • HTML + CSS + CoffeeScript (Javascript) + Dojo toolkit for the frontend.
  • And coffee. ☕

Mindcatcher Android App

Mindcatcher is an Android app created to aid the users in their meditation practice. Some of its features are:

  • Designed to work offline.
  • Text contents are updated periodically from a server when a connection is available.
  • Audio contents can be downloaded on demand.
  • Features a meditation timer that aids in the sitting practice.

  • Keeps a record of the sittings employing a calendar and a tree-like representation.
  • The CMS is based on Joomla since the client already had this setup and this avoided duplication.
  • I built an API to interface with Joomla and request the contents from the server.

Built using:
  • Kotlin for Android for the device App.
  • Joomla for the CMS.
  • API programmed with PHP to interface with Joomla.
  • And more coffee. ☕

This project consists of an app to publish a calendar of events to follow in my hometown, Morelia, in the state of Michoacán, México.

Built using:

  • Ruby + Rails API at the backend.
  • Javascript + React + Redux at the frontend.
  • ...and, of course, coffee. ☕
